Artemis (アルテミス, Arutemisu^?) is one of three feline characters of the Japanese anime series, Sailor Moon, and the second to appear in the story. He is the white-furred guardian animal to Minako Aino. He trained her to be Sailor V and then aided Luna when the Sailor Soldiers were reunited. Although a male cat, Artemis' name comes from the Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis. He seems not to be bothered by this fact, even when Minako teases him about it.^[1] Sailor Moon , officially translated as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon) is the title of a famous media franchise created by Japanese manga artist Naoko Takeuchi. ...

Authoritatively speaking, Luna is based on Artemis because the Sailor V manga was created before the Sailor Moon manga.

Background

In the earliest episodes of the classic Sailor Moon anime series, Luna communicates with an unseen Artemis using a special game console at the video arcade. When Sailor Venus finally appears, Artemis is revealed. In Episode 37, Luna goes back to check with the game to update on Usagi's status. Suddenly, there are some technical problems, and Artemis appears on the screen, standing in front of a console with a headset on and a can of tuna beside him. Luna becomes very mad at Artemis, saying "So you were the one giving me orders all this time?! Why didn't you ever tell me?" to which Artemis replies, "Well, you never asked until now, so I just sorta of kept on going."

Artemis seems more easygoing than Luna, implying despite Minako's wild personality she is more responsible than Usagi. His relationship to her is something of a big brother, although it has been implied he has more than passing romantic affection towards her. In the manga, Artemis has shown a similar ability to Luna, able to assume humanoid form under some unusual circumstances. In the final major story arc of the manga, it is later said the two cats simply inhabit cat-like forms, and are actually from a distant planet called Mau. 2nd English edition of InuYasha Vol. ...

Although their relationship seems abrasive at times, Artemis and Luna have a child in the future (who meets them via time travel), an overeager orchid-grey kitten called Diana. Artemis' most unusual incarnation is that of a stuffed animal in the show's live action television series. Spoiler warning: Diana is the name of one of the feline characters in the Japanese anime series Sailor Moon. ... In film and video, live action refers to works that are acted out by flesh-and-blood actors, as opposed to animation. ...

In the anime, Artemis' character is more important than his abilities, which are not heavily featured, although it would seem logical that he has powers identical to those Luna possesses. In the English dub, unlike Luna's British Accent, Artemis speaks with a General American tone. Note: This page contains IPA phonetic symbols in Unicode. ...

Artemis also appeared in the first Seramyu along with Luna. It should be noted that they are not played as stuffed animals like the Live action TV series but are played by proper actors dressed up in cat costumes.

In the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon series, Artemis is portrayed as a stuffed toy, but is also occasionally rendered using CGI effects. Like the anime Artemis acts as Minako's guardian and he seems to be very good friends with her (to the point of blushing a few times). The seawater creature in The Abyss marked CGIs acceptance in the visual effects industry. ...
